DSA urges ADIs to check online details

The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) is urging approved driving instructors (ADIs) to log on to GOV.UK to update their contact details.

You can also use the online service to tell DSA if you:

  • would like your details to be published on the ‘Find your nearest driving instructors’ service on GOV.UK
  • are committed to a minimum of 1 day per year continuing professional development (CPD) and abiding by the voluntary ADI code of practice

‘Find your nearest driving instructors’ service

This free online service, searching by postcode, gives customers swift access to information about ADI in their area and their contact details.

Learner drivers can get the details for their nearest instructors with just a few clicks of the mouse, along with the assurance that those listed have passed the DSA qualifying tests, have been Criminal Records Bureau checked and are on the ADI register.

The service shows:

  • your name
  • your contact number
  • your email address
  • if you are committed to CPD and abiding by the voluntary ADI code of practice
  • how far you are from the learner’s postcode
